Chapter 5: The New City of Beijing

For the first question.

Naturally, it is a two-pronged approach, the first is to overhaul water conservancy. Repair the river. Solve this problem at the root. Second, the prince has asked all the feng shui masters from all over the world to choose a site for the new Beijing city.

After all, the ancient way of Feng Shui. There is still a little bit of learning. For example, the city of Beijing has not suffered a particularly major earthquake for 600 years.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if it's really capable.

After all, 600 years is a snap of a finger for geological history.

It doesn't count.

Second question.

The crown prince was very confident, he was confident that the Ming Dynasty would never fall to the point of strengthening the walls of Beijing to defend against the enemy. Although he didn't have the confidence to do so, Jingshi didn't want the city wall. But I don't think that the Tartars in the north have any ability, break through Monan, break through Yanshan, and hit the city of Beijing.

If there really is such a day, Beijing City and the historical Beijing City, transferred dozens of miles, hundreds of miles, is there any difference?

Mu Ying listened to the prince talk endlessly about his plans for the future of Beijing.

After the crown prince was finished, Mu Ying suddenly said: "Your Highness, the dust is about to settle over there in Nanjing, when are you going to return to Beijing?" ”

The prince suddenly froze, and the smile on his face froze.

This trip to Beijing was the biggest setback the prince had encountered in the past 30 years.

The impact on the crown prince is too great.

Mu Ying knows the prince, and after the prince arrived in Beijing, he hardly had any leisure, whether it was trekking through mountains and rivers to investigate coal and iron resources. Go to Liaodong, and even personally inspect Tongzhou, Xianghe and other places.

Perhaps, in later life, it was just a matter of driving a car, but at this time, thousands of miles of travel, even horseback riding was very difficult.

It's like He Xi, the first time he rode a horse for a long distance, the inner thighs were touched to bleed, then scabbed, grinded again, and scabbed again. For a long time, when I touched my crotch, it was bloody. Finally, after feeling the calluses, I felt better.

The prince's hardships can be imagined.

Why did the prince do this?

Mu Ying can guess some.

If the crown prince was worried about his position being shaken, it was only worry. Now this kind of worry is not just a worry, it can be said that everyone in the world knows that there is a problem between the prince and His Majesty.

And the crown prince is also facing the biggest problem he has encountered in his life.

If one can't get it right, his worries are real.

But since ancient times, the relationship between the crown prince and the emperor has been quite delicate.

Trust this thing, it's easy to destroy. It's hard to fix.

Even if the prince really changed his mind and admitted his mistake. Actively correct. But so what?

Zhu Yuanzhang will believe it. Will he feel that the prince just wants to lie dormant for a while, and when he ascends the throne, it will be the sky high and the sea will be wide. You can do whatever you want. At that time, what could Zhu Yuanzhang do?

Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, it is extremely difficult to pull them out.

The crown prince said leisurely: "The key to this matter is not me, but Your Majesty. What can I do? ”

Mu Ying said: "Your Highness, I know that Your Majesty will not be angry for a while, but there are many words below, which are spread widely. In particular------"

The crown prince said, "King Qin? Or the King of Jin? ”

Mu Ying said: "Yes, there are several older princes, except for King Yan who desperately cleared himself and ran the Changchun Capital Division wholeheartedly, the others have some moves, and even King Lu wants to go back to Beijing to recuperate." ”

The prince said indifferently: "Look at it, this is Lone's brother." ”

In the past, there was brotherly harmony between the prince and the kings, and that was because the kings did not see the possibility of becoming the prince at all. But this time, they saw hope. Naturally, they took action. It can be said that adult princes have a little action.

Even the prince who was sealed outside also sent more people in Beijing.

Of course, they themselves think it's well hidden. didn't know that in terms of political resources, they had no way to compare with the crown prince. These actions of theirs naturally fell in the eyes of the crown prince.

What made the prince feel strange was the King Yan he had been preparing to deal with.

At this moment, King Yan has already let out the entire Yan Wangfu and taken his whole family to live in Changchun. The intent is also obvious.

I just don't want to get involved in the matter of winning the heir.

The prince also understands a little why it will be difficult for King Yan to raise troops in the future. And no one else. There's a reason for that, too. Among his younger brothers, King Yan's ability is also the strongest.

Because the prince understands very well that even if he is deposed, the person who first reveals his intentions may not end well.

Only those who can hold back their ambitions can go to the end. If he is deposed, he is optimistic about King Yan in this battle for storage positions.

Mu Ying said; "Your Highness, we always have to react. If it's been a long time. The minister is worried about ------"

The prince said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Mu Ying said; "Your Highness, King Qin has always been fluctuating in the matter of moving the country. Having resisted His Majesty's conscription many times, it is time to strike at him. Punish someone as a warning to others. ”

The prince said; "He's Lone's brother."

At this moment, the prince's brotherly affection for King Qin does not retain a few points. Otherwise, the crown prince should deny this matter, but emphasize that the practical difficulty, that is, the king of Qin is the prince and cannot be a killer.

Mu Ying said; "Your Highness, the minister lost his words. The status of the king of Qin is noble, and it is impossible for a minister to kill him. However, the Qin clan was moved out of Xi'an. No matter where you go, it's a good thing. ”

The crown prince nodded, King Qin is the second son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and if the crown prince is deposed, he will be the easiest to take over. And he is also the most zealous, as long as the king of Qin is moved out of Xi'an. can disrupt King Qin's original team, and for a long time, King Qin won't want to recover.

And King Qin has a lot of problems, and the prince has covered them up a lot before. Now grab King Qin's handle first, that's really handy.

The prince said: "Alone in Beijing now, it is no better than when I was in Nanjing, what should I do." ”

When the crown prince was in Nanjing, it can be said that all the government affairs in the world were in the hands of the prince, and there were too many ways to deal with the king of Qin. In Beijing, his power has shrunk a lot, and if he wants to control the King of Qin, he must discuss it carefully in order to justify it.

Mu Ying had already prepared.

Mu Ying said: "Your Royal Highness, King Yan has repeatedly invited the Northern Expedition to the desert, and the minister thinks that when the two roads fly together, King Yan dominates the east road, and the west road is dominated by the King of Jin and the King of Qin, and wins from the east into the north of the desert. And the king of Qin did not obey the order many times, and the minister asked him to go to Xi'an, and he honestly came to Beijing to see His Royal Highness, which was just right. ”

"If, he doesn't want to. The minister will definitely 'invite' the king of Qin over. ”

The word "please" is naturally accented.

The prince understood what Mu Ying meant.

To be honest, King Qin himself doesn't think that he is actually at the same level as the crown prince at all, and he doesn't need the prince to come out, Mu Ying and Lan Yu are the ones who come out, even if they win King Qin in Xi'an City, it is an easy thing.

Even if the king of Qin had his own army.

The fame of the famous generals is enough to deter them.

Not to mention, there are more than two generals in the prince's entrainment. There are also many civil ministers.

This is also why, in history, after the death of the prince, Zhu Yuanzhang moved the idea of changing the prince, and finally changed his mind, on the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings for the prince and his concern for orthodoxy. On the other hand, that is the political power left by the crown prince.

Naturally, these political forces supported the crown prince.

Once you don't set up a grandson. These people will be purged by the future emperor, which will cause a lot of turmoil and unrest.

Now, the prince's latent power will only be more than in history, not less.

The prince took a deep breath and said, "Let me think about it." ”

Mu Ying said: "Your Highness, it's not the ministers who are dividing the Heavenly Family, but the King of Qin is really too much. If Your Highness doesn't do anything, the situation will only get worse. ”

King Qin is the biggest action among all the princes. Other princes only sent people to inquire about the news. Or, send a few people to stay in Nanjing, and the king of Qin has developed to send a large amount of goods to lobby the minister in the capital. He has lobbied Shen Guogong Deng Zhen many times. Without him, the two of them are relatives.
